Title: apt info "please use the '-a' switch" Status in apt package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When getting info about a package, I see a notice asking me to "Please use the '-a' switch", but the apt program does not accept an '-a' switch. Steps to reproduce: $ apt info docker.io ... N: There is 1 additional record. Please use the '-a' switch to see it $ apt -a info docker.io $ apt info -a docker.io $ apt info docker.io -a Expected outcome: same output as `apt info docker.io` but with the 1 additional record. Seen outcome: E: Command line option 'a' [from -a] is not understood in combination with the other options. Also seen: `apt info $pkg` gives the same output as `apt show $pkg` including the Notice message, but where `apt info -a $pkg` fails, `apt show -a $pkg` succeeds. Workaround: Use `apt show -a $pkg` instead.
